RELATING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Summary

By January 1 2027, every law‑enforcement agency in Hawaii must have a public policy stating that officers must wear visible ID showing their department and name or badge number, except for narrowly defined situations. The bill also adds law‑enforcement officers to the list of “covered public servants” who can request that certain personal information not be posted online. It aims to increase transparency, accountability, and public trust while still protecting officer safety.
